This signed Persian Kashan pictorial rug, measuring 78 x 90 cm, presents a finely hand-knotted scene inspired by Omar Khayyam’s timeless poetry. Crafted around the mid-20th century, it captures a reflective moment beneath flowering trees where Khayyam, holding a cup of wine, engages with a companion. The imagery reflects Sufi philosophy, highlighting the appreciation of earthly pleasures and life's fleeting nature.
Originating from Kashan, a city famed for its weaving tradition, this rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship and artistic heritage. The high knot density ensures detailed precision, rendering the scene with clarity akin to a painted canvas. Its palette combines soft sky blues, warm ivory, terracotta reds, forest greens, and golden earth tones, framed by an intricate red and ivory border that enhances its storybook quality.
Signed by the master weaver in the upper cartouche, this piece offers authenticity and provenance. Its compact size makes it ideal for use as wall art, a framed feature, or an accent in a study or living space. This rug appeals to collectors, admirers of Persian art, and those interested in literary or cultural artefacts.
